"SWING MEDLEY" hand-turned on 'de Carillon' Street Organ at the Great Dorset Steam Fair (Draaiorgel)

"SWING MEDLEY" played on the traditionally hand-wound (by yours truly) 64-key Bursen's Street Organ 'de Carillon', owned by Nick Baker and presented by Shane Seagrave and Rob Harris at the Great Dorset Steam Fair.

...great music of bygone days.Your stamina is admirable-my shoulder hurts alone from wtching you work! Great! Thanks a lot!

[@oz1902]

I have to admire the way you turn that handle. You are a true musician Sir.

[@TransRoofKorean]

clockwise!

[@jlewis31510]

That's great music - loved it. My arms were ready to fall off just watching you operate the wheel! 😄

[@Charleena-Purcell]

I've always loved these and wish I could see/hear one in person😮

[@elijasuiters9932]

Assuming you're from Georgia in the USA, not Georgia in Europe, you can go up to Holland Michigan. They have a little dutch village theme park with a beautiful street organ.

[@Jjjoey69]

That is just a fantastic arrangement.

That must ache your arm ,love the sound of these organs

[@atlanticcoastexpress]

That was hard work! Well done and thank you., with my shoulder arthritis I would have only managed half a minute! Thanks again…take a rest now! Rob, In Bournemouth.

Kaum zu glauben, daß man mit der Hand gekurbelt so einen tollen Sound hervorbringen kann! Ein Genuß zum Hören und Sehen! Vielen Dank! 👏🎶😊👍

[@echodelta9]

The bicycle is as old as these instruments, why on earth were pedals were never used on these? My shoulder injury and just sensible ergonomics leaves me wondering. I restore that other pedal operated music instrument from just into the 20th century, the player piano.

REALLy great arrainged!Sounds so full and lively

[@SentientMeatbag]

That looks like quite a workout! :)

[@hunteranddajman2]

This is absolutely amazing!! I know I’ve heard the second song before, but I can’t remember the name. I know the first one is “Don’t Mean a Thing,” and the third one is “Sing Sing Sing.”

[@dominicmartinelli5762]

2nd song is Stompin' At The Savoy.

[@aijada]

Looks like quite a workout

[@fairorgan]

It is! Frequent arm changes are essential, as is standing still to savel energy, all whilst keeping the perfect speed. Unfortunately the International Olympic Committee have yet to recognise organ grinding as an Olympic sport.

[@cjsidk719]

I love it!

[@Fry09294]

This is wonderful.

[@elliottsaucedo442]

That first bit of the composition is my favorite. What a jam. Anyone know what it's called?

[@fairorgan]

The first tune is "It Don't Mean A Thing" (If It Ain't Got That Swing)

[@elliottsaucedo442]

@@fairorgan OF COURSE! I feel a bit stupid now for not realizing it. It’s been awhile since I’ve listened to that.

[@elfurrohetero3518]

That's "I don't Mean A Thing"

[@SwingBandHeaven]

That looks like hard work to keep it turning at quite a steady but quick speed. Is it?

[@jimboii9241]

Nick can you play jambalaya sometime I’d love to hear that 👌

[@simonbeasley989]

Fantastic!

[@thecrankjonkie2391]

Cranking is fun! I hope I have the chance to crank more organs of this or similar size again in the future!

[@Zman_1123]

That was my jam

Sounds like late 1900s fairground

I can listen Street Organs for hours, the only think I dislike is the percussion it isn’t needed it distracts from the sound of the organ.
